BEFORE THE SPOTLIGHT - ELVIS TRIBUTE SONG (Lyrical arrangement by Carolyn of TEAM ELVIS)

Описание: LYRICS

[Verse 1]
Before the spotlight found my name,
Before the fortune, before the fame,
I bowed my head, a restless child,
And Heaven touched me for a while.
I felt a mercy I can’t explain,
Like warm forgiveness in the rain.
That’s when my heart was finally free
Salvation wrote its song in me.

[Pre-Chorus]
And every stage I ever stood on
Was just another place to lean on Him.

[Chorus]
’Cause my greatest love was a gospel song,
Where a broken soul like mine belongs.
I sang of heartbreak, I sang of loss,
But I found my hope at an old rugged cross.
I wanted to shine like a city on a hill,
Do my Father’s work, do His will.
Of all the crowns this world could bring,
My greatest love was the King.

[Verse 2]
I’d preach to friends in the middle of the night,
Family gathered in the soft lamplight.
Strangers sitting by my side,
I’d tell ’em where my hope resides.
If I had money, I’d give it away,
Cars and wheelchairs any day.
If I could help, I didn’t wait
Love shouldn’t hesitate.

[Pre-Chorus]
I wasn’t trying to be a star,
Just trying to heal a heart or two where they are.

[Chorus]
’Cause my greatest love was a gospel song,
Where the weary and wandering belong.
I knew the emptiness of applause,
But I knew redemption without a cause.
I wanted hands that healed like His,
A heart that forgives like His heart forgives.
Of all the crowns this world could bring,
My greatest love was the King.

[Bridge] (Soft confession)
I wasn’t perfect, I fell sometimes,
Carried the weight of my own hard nights.
But grace would meet me where I stood,
Remind me God is always good.
If I could be a hero in this life,
It was loving folks through joy and strife.
Every gift I gave away
Was just His love passing through me.

[Breakdown] (Quiet, reflective)
And if you found me years too late,
In a different time, a different age —
Know the voice you hear still sings
About the hope that changed everything.

[Final Chorus] (Lifted, triumphant but tender)
Yes, my greatest love was a gospel song,
And that’s where my soul still belongs.
Long after the records fade away,
Long after the crowds don’t stay,
If you remember anything of me,
Let it be kindness, charity.
Not just a legend, not just a name —
But a man redeemed by grace.

[Outro] (Soft, almost spoken)
And if they love me after I’m gone,
It’s not because of the songs I’ve sung…
It’s the love He planted deep within —
That’s what keeps on traveling.
